Realistically named Yeovile or Yobvil by locals, visitors can appreciate the dire state of the town centre as soon as they arrive and park in one of the tatty car parks surrounded by derelict/semi derelict buildings. Ukrainians settling here probably feel well at home as the Council’s town centre ‘Yeovil Refresh’ programme has turned it […]
Burnt Oak is the Body Odour of North West London. If you unfortunately find yourself in this hellhole, seek refuge immediately. You’d think the home of the first ever Tesco would be notable, yet death is a better option than living in this place (The Tesco branch chose it as well). The moment you step […]

Just like others have posted about Northampton being a cesspit, I’d like to add that the council are so [*allegedly] backward (prehistoric imbeciles). It is run by Conservatives. I don’t know how they win the local elections… take a few guesses 😉 They were placed in special measures because they squandered so much money. No […]

I have the misfortune of living in Melksham for most of my life, and I was genuinely surprised that it not received the honour (or dishonour!) of appearing on this list. Lying in between the equally deplorable town of Chippenham and Trowbridge, Melksham is sadly another example of how decades of decline and social issues […]

Egremont, Cumbria. Words can’t express how desperately depressing this forgotten hovel is. “A convenient gateway to Wasdale and the lakes” they say – but NOTHING including convenience can justify a stop, or even a dive through here. The outside of pubs and shops tell you all you need to know. They look boarded up despite […]
Having had the pleasure of living in Chulmleigh for many years, I can say that it is nice. However, if you are looking for true local Devon folk, aside from those clustered in the cemetery, you won’t find too many. Like other parts of North Devon, Chulmleigh has fallen victim to net migration from counties […]
I’m utterly gobsmacked that no one’s mentioned Cullompton yet! On the surface it’s a quaint, quiet Devon town but the harsh reality is that it’s overrun with ch@vs. You will lose track of the amount of hoodies that you’ll see, Cullompton (or Cully as the locals call it) has to hold the record for the […]

If a later day Virgil were to lead Dante through Purgatory he would come upon Hoylake and description would fail them and they would not wish to linger long. ‘Hoylake is nice’, the words uttered by an estate agent is like a diagnosis of dementia, or a slow growing tumour that will ultimately **** you, […]
